rules are there to be broken, how is he going to prove his fit

Probably the exact same way Schumacher is?

If he is out long enough for his body to get really out of shape (which I don't think he will), it would mean that there would probably only be a few races left in the season. The longer Schumacher is in the seat, the better he is going to get, so unless he is doing really poorly (which I don't expect to happen), why would they replace him for a questionable Massa?

Now here is what I expect to happen: Massa has been recovering extremely quickly, the way things look I see no reason for him to still be recovering at the end of the season. I expect he will be back to a regular training schedule by the time Monza comes around, be testing the old car by Singapore, and will be back in the seat, in full fitness and health, for his home race in Sao Paulo.

Ferrari tinted glasses, more like.... lol

Thats what i was saying in a less round about kind of way, roses = red lol

ok ok "some roses" are white too


























but most are red

I don't think Massa should be allowed to test when he returns, as he has already had a hell of a lot of experience with the F60. (Yes, there will have been some updates by the time he comes back, but it will still be the same car fundamentally). Schumacher and Alguersuari's situations are very different to Massa's.

Setting aside the Massa issue for a second, I keep seeing people say "rules are rules".

This is a bad rule.

still a rule

I suppose the problem is making exceptions to the rule, just change the god damn rule since its a bad one.

Once you make an exception there are many other situations where people will want excpetions.

Why would this case be different to any other the other scenarios where drivers were not allowed to test? If anything he is in a much better position than your schuis and alguersari's

Precisely

You're missing the point. When they wrote this rule they completely failed to take the need to get replacement and reserve drivers up to speed. The rule should be changed to allow that.

They've been known to before. Mass dampers anyone?

thats a technical regulation that affects the car.

Not the driver.
